What reading level is Vichy And Environs book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But it rapidly rose from its ruins : under the reign of Henry IV, it was more opulent than over.
Among many other privileges, it had acquired the sacred right of asylum, which conferred to the abbe the licence of saving a culprit who should take refuge in the church of the monastery, by the simple fact of covering him with its protection.
Towards the end of the reign of Louis XV, a traitor sought a refuge in the Celestins'church.
But the officers of justice pursued him there and took hold of hi...m, notwithstanding the indignant protestations of the monks. The king, then, sup- pressed the asylum right and the convent which enjoyed it. This royal order had more effect than the various trials it had suffered before; the con- vent never recovered from so heavy a blow.
One monastery was a quite insufficient thing for a city at that time : therefore Vichy numbered two of them, the Celestins convent and another for the sick Friars of the Capucins'congregation.
Of the former nothing remains but an old house built on the rock of the Celestins, which is the dwelling of a gardener* The latter no longer Digitized byCjOOQlC — M — exists ; yet its chapel is said to have beea an ora^ tory to Mesdames Victoire and Adelaide de France, daring their stay at Vichy.
